    Preparation Steps

    1

    Cut the beef into large chunks. Place in a pot and cover with cold water. Add the onion, garlic, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Simmer over low heat for 2 hours, or until the beef is very tender.

    2

    Meanwhile, prepare the tamarind sauce: in a small saucepan, combine the tamarind paste, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and finely chopped jalapeño.

    3

    Heat the tamarind mixture over low heat until the sugar dissolves and the sauce slightly thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

    4

    Once the beef is tender, remove it from the pot and shred it with two forks.

    5

    Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet until pliable.

    6

    Fill the tortillas with the shredded beef, then spoon over the tamarind sauce.

    7

    Garnish with fresh cilantro, squeeze lime juice over the top, and serve immediately!
